About COO files

The .COO file extension is most frequently associated with surveying and civil engineering coordinate data, specifically utilized by software like Carlson Software and TopoLT. These files typically store lists of varying coordinate geometry (COGO) points, often following a structure like Point ID, Northing, Easting, Elevation, and Description (PNEZD). While efficient for specialized surveying tasks, .COO files create significant friction when sharing data with clients or stakeholders who do not possess expensive licenses for AutoCAD plugins or specific survey tools. Opening them directly in a text editor can result in unstructured data dumps that are difficult to interpret or plot. Additionally, a niche subset of .COO files may relate to Sparse Matrix data formats used in scientific computing (e.g., SuiteSparse), representing graph data in coordinate list format. For general accessibility, the practical workaround is converting these files to CSV or XLSX for analysis in Microsoft Excel, DXF for universal CAD compatibility, or TXT for raw data archiving.

Convert.Guru analyzes your COO file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted TOC, KDT and NID files.

The COO Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our COO converter.
